'''Pellet Posies''' ({{j|ペレット草|Peretto Sō|Pellet Grass}}) are a species of [[plant]] that appear in all main-series [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their nectar into [[pellet]]s, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their [[Onion]]s, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate.

The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (matching the colors of the [[Onion]]s). These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect. The order that the color cycles is always the chronological order that the Pikmin are discovered. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and {{p2}}, this cycle goes red, yellow, blue. In {{p3}}, the order is red, gray, yellow, pink, blue. Using [[glitch]]es or [[sequence break]]s to discover Onions in a different order in any game has no effect on the cycles. In {{p4}}, the order is not related to the order in which Pikmin are discovered. In this game, the pattern is red, blue, yellow, gray, pink, purple, white, cyan.

In ''Pikmin 2'', all Posies have the same size and [[health]], but in ''Pikmin 3'', larger pellets need larger Pellet Posies, which in turn have more health.

{{transcript|It takes just one Pikmin to cut down a Pellet Posy, but often several Pikmin must carry its Pikmin-producing pellet to an Onion.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Most of the Pellet Posies you find produce 1 Pellets but 5 Pellets and 10 Pellets can be harvested from larger Pellet Posies. To quickly destroy a small Pellet Posy, toss a single Pikmin directly onto the top of its flower. Larger Pellet Posies are more durable and should generally be attacked by multiple Pikmin.|block=y}}

[[File:Pellet Posies in Awakening Wood.jpg|thumb|250px|Different kinds of Pellet Posies in the Awakening Wood. Not pictured is a 5 pellet Pellet Posy, nor the posy that belonged to the now fallen 20 pellet.]]

10-weight Pellet Posies are rare: there is one in the Valley of Repose, which changes colors and can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the [[Hocotate ship]], starting on day 4. In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow one is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level.

The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in the Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so careful timing is needed when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on day 11, and respawns five days after being collected.

Pellet Posies are found in every area except the [[Formidable Oak]], scattered around. In order to help grow newly found Pikmin, Pellet Posies that are always the color of that Pikmin type are found near the discovery site of each Onion, except for [[Rock Pikmin]] (where the pellets are encased in [[crystal]]). The days after an Onion is found, its respective Pellet Posies become multicolor, with the exception of the Blue Onion and the Winged Onion.

{{guide}}

Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a [[plant]] rather than an [[enemy]], it is still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[leader]]. When hit, they make a "squeaking" sound. For an instant kill, [[throw]] your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem. There are exceptions to this quick knockout: Posies larger than size "1" in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' will need to have Pikmin thrown on to it, so they can latch on and gradually detach it with attacks. Winged Pikmin can knock down the pellets right away, but only with specific aim{{cite youtube|oMe5bryGCko|showing how Winged Pikmin can take down Pellet Posies instantly}} or by throwing them from below, otherwise the Pikmin will just fly to the pellet, latch on, and pummel it, like if it were a bigger pellet.

 

 

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==

Pellet Posies also appear in the "Distant Planet" stage in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown at opponents. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. They can also be thrown into an [[Onion]] that appears periodically, which will then eject items, if they are on. Higher numbers and matching colors equal more items. A red Pellet Posy appears as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''Brawl'', although it is called "Red Pellet Flower". The [[Strategy guides|''Pikmin'' Nintendo Strategy Guide]] also refers to Pellet Posies as "Pellet Flowers".

|common    = Pellet Posy. A {{w|posy}} is a bouquet of flowers in the real world, and the Pellet Posy is named such because it is a flower, but has a [[pellet]] in the center.

|scientific = ''Amplus nutrio''. It is Latin for "ample nutrients", due to the pellets it generates being a great resource for Pikmin. ''Floribundi splendiferous'' is the scientific name for the Pellet Posies in the Prima Guidebook for ''New Play Control! Pikmin''.

|internal  = In ''Pikmin'', the plant is internally known as <code>palm</code>, perhaps alluring to palm trees, but is simply called <code>pelplant</code> in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', which is short for "pellet plant".
